    Hey Lindy! I have just become hooked on your channel. I have been learning and researching about Medieval weapons and that's how I came across your channel. I love it! Thank you for your work. I wanted to share a great experience I had today... I went to my local art museum today, Philadelphia Museum of Art. I wasn't expecting them to have an Arms and Armor area, let alone as big as it was. The arms and armor ranged from the 8th to the 18th century, a myriad of history from all over Europe, from the "Vikings" to Saxony to Bohemia to a beautiful sword of Oliver Cromwell's. It was things that I never thought I'd see unless I traveled to Europe! Now, most of the weapons and armor were "dress" swords/armor, ceremonial, or just never used. But the 8th and 9th century swords and the collection of Halberds and Bills from 8th to 14th c. were used in battle. Being so close to these weapons dripping in history filled me with so much emotion. Thinking of these weapons being used by the men of their time to defend their land/country or being used to conquer new lands for their kings made me go numb. I stayed in that section for 6 hours and will be going back as soon as I can!

    Things to do while wearing armor: - swimming - marathon - window-shopping - parkour - anything that involves electric cables (with current in them) - dating - visiting a medieval museum - renewing your passport at your town hall - entering a jewelry - taking an international flight (feel free to come invade us in France. We'll exchange cuisine for humor) - going into a tank, of course! - sewing and all kinds of needlework. Helmet and gauntlets required. - jousting (because it sounds like such a healthy thing to do) - and finally removing said armor and spending a zillion hours cleaning it and fighting the rust off it.

    Take a look at the illustrations of _The Beauchamp Pageant,_ and look for the pair of young men, squires probably, in plate harness. Both are standing hipshot, in exactly the stance armor wearers get into after a few hours standing around in plate. Conserves remaining energy, as it does take a bit of effort merely to stand up in armor. But hours armed up are doable.

Since the flight was delayed he started armoring up while still in the air. The other passengers had looked at him kinda funny for the padded hose he was wearing when he got on, but stopped laughing when the chain mail and greaves came out. His weapons (padded, not real) were checked, but all the armor was in his carry on luggage. Oh how times have changed.
